Biology

Physiology

Probopass has small round eyes, contrasting Nosepass's perpetually closed ones. Its nose is much bigger in proportion to its body, and it has a bushy mustache that appears to consist of iron filings caught by its magnetic nose. It has three small objects on its sides and back that look like Nosepass; they are called "Mini-Noses" by the Pokédex. These "Mini-Noses" can detach to form new Nosepass. It also has a big hat-like magnet on top of its head.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

It has fairly strong magnetic abilities, especially around its large nose. It also possesses the ability to control smaller units called "Mini-Noses".

Behavior

Probopass tend to sit still on rocky islands for long periods of time. They are not aggressive and are content to relax.

Habitat

Probopass live inside Mt. Coronet and on rocky islands, but rarely appear.

Origin

Probopass is based on the pukau-wearing moai statues of Easter Island and a compass magnet with iron filings attached to it. It could also be an homage to Nintendo's mascot Mario. All of Probopass's noses are like the needles in a compass, with the big nose pointing North (as in some compasses where the North needle is the biggest), and the mini-noses pointing to the East, South, and West, respectively.
